4
Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name? Surely you know!
5
Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
6
Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you, and you be found a liar.
7
Two things I ask of thee; deny them not to me before I die:
8
Remove far from me falsehood and lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me,
9
lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, "Who is the LORD?" or lest I be poor, and steal, and profane the name of my God.
10
Do not slander a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be held guilty.
11
There are those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers.
12
There are those who are pure in their own eyes but are not cleansed of their filth.
13
There are those--how lofty are their eyes, how high their eyelids lift!
14
There are those whose teeth are swords, whose teeth are knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, the needy from among men.
